A war relic of considerable interest is In
the possession of Mr.. Gunther of this city,
and occupies place in the second-story OK
his store on State street, says the Chicago
Tribune. It is massive table, supported
by outspreading legs, the top being .
cracked marble slab about three feet
square. The following inscription is on It:
s'The Appomattox table. Upon this table
the papers for the surrender Of General
Lee to General Grant were made, and
ended the late civil war;" Mr.. Gunther
bought it for $1,000 from Mrs. Ord, the
widow of the late Major-Generai Ord OF
the Union army. She had an autograph
letter from General Grant, stating that the
table is the identical one upon which the
historical papers were signed in the court
house. 1t is an ordinary piece Of work and
of cheap material. General Ord was pres
emit at the surrender and was shrewd
enough to take possession of the table.

ABOUT PETROLEUM.
A Useful Fluid That Was Highly Prized
by Greeks and Romans.

A Useful Fluid That Was Highly Priced
by Greeks and Romans.
Petroleum from it's name signifies
rock oil. which exudes from the earth.
1t is found in many parts of the world.
For more than two thousand years it
was known to the Greeks and Romans.
Caesar erected monument over a
spring, on the surface of which was
found a small quantity of petroleum.
The spring was held sacred and the
oil collected was highly priced and
used for healing purposes. Bakoo,
town on the Caspian sea, has long
been celebrated for it's springs of
pure quality of petroleum, which sup
piled Persia with a means of artificial
light Over q tract of twenty-five
miles long and a half mile wide, the
strata, chiefly silaceous sandstones Of
loose texture, belonging to medal
tertiary formation is saturated with
the oil and holds it like a sponge.
That obtained in the center of the
tract is as pure as distilled oil.
In the environs of Bakoo are hills of
volcanic rocks, through which bitumin-
Gus springs flow out For more than
two hundred years Parma and Modena
have furnished petroleum for Italy.
The Island of Trinidad in Cuba, fur
nishes good quality. Germany and
Russia have artesian wells to gather it.
In the United States petroleum has
long been known. The oil near the
head of the Genessee river in New
York. and in Venango County, Pa.
was known from a remote period by
the Indians, who used it for medical
purposes. It was called Genessee and
Seneca oil. and it was used as reme-
dy for rheumatism with good effect
Through the narrows of Oil creek are
ancient pits. 1t is supposed that the
Indians dug these pits to procure Oil,
which was used by them as an ungu-
emit. and in their religious worship.
Petroleum contains ninety-four
parts of carbon. Such has been the
power and utility of petroleum that it
has attracted the attention of scientists
in discovering additional purposes for
which it is employed. The first pat
emit taken out by the Columbia Oil
Burner Company for the purpose of
burning of crude oil, for which Cap

THE DYING JUGGERNAUT.
Coolies Hired to Draw tho Car Once Draw
by Fanatic Devoted

Coolies Hired to Draw the Car Once Drawn
by Fanatic Devotess
The announcement that inc onDe-
famous festival of Juggernaut has so
declined in popularity as to render it
necessary for the priests to hire coolies
to drag the car is a measure OF the ex-
tent to which the destructive solvent
of Western thought is being applied
to Western creeds. The car OF the
great god of Pooree was one OF the
most sacred ofB rahmanic properties"
and the rath jattra, festival which.
in Importance, yielded to that OF no
other duty in the Hindoo Pan hoen.
From every part of the vast empire OF
Hindostan pilgrims flocked to share in
it, and when the car of Juggernau
was dragged once a year from the
temple in order to battle the gods in
the cool water of the tank mile and
a half distant the widest enthusiasm
seized the vast multitude of devotees-
Thousands rushed to seize the cables.
and so eager were the volunteers for
this holy service that the best and
greatest men of Orissa struggled with
each other to obtain hold upon the
ropes. To use the language OF an old
writer who witnessed the rath jattra
in its palmy days. 'they are so greedy
and eager to draw it that whosoever.
by shouldering, crowding, showing,
heaving, thrusting. or in any insolent
way, can but lay hand upon the rope.
thew think themselves blessed and
happy. And when it is going along
the city there are many that will offer
themselves as a sacrifice to the idol.
and desperately lie down on the ground
that the chariot wheels may run over
them, whereby they are killed out
right Some get broken arms. some
broken legs, so that many are de.
stroyed, and think to merit Heaven.
At even a later date martyrs to Jug
gernaut. or Jagganna'th. as he is more
correctly termed, were not infrequent.
When Francis Buchanan was in Pooree
early in this century. he describes the
harsh grating of the gigantic car as 1t
moved along, the obscene songs OF the
priests in honor of the god. and the
fierce chances which the fanatics be-
slowed on the Defeating Englishmen.

Are They Worth 1t?

The people of Texas, according to the
Galveston Netos, maintain 2,500, 700 dogs,
at an expense to their owners of say, five
cents day, or more than $45, 000, 900 a year.
Add to this $500, 900 to represent the year
ly loss of sheep through this agency, and
we have a total of $40, SOC, 900 as the annual
cost of the dogs-mostly worthless-of that

Sensations at High Attitudes.

The effects of the rarity of the at
mosphere were felt as soon as the start
was made, and it was impossible to
proceed more than a few yards with
out stopping to take breath. The as
cent was made in zigzags, and natur-
ally rest was taken at the end OF
each direct line. At the start, to climb
for eight minutes and rest five was
considered making very good time. 1t
was not long before a rest OF eight
minutes was required for every four of
climbil g, and after half the ascent
was made we rested more frequently
and without eXerting ourselves to sit
down. We thrust our slaves into the
snow and leaned our heads upon
them. DrOwsiness overlook us and
progress became mechanical. We
moved only as spurred on by our ever
watchful guides. If left to ourselves
we would have fallen asleep. Our
hearts beat with fearful rapidity and
the breath became shorter and short
er. Ringing sensations in the head
like those produced by large doses OF
quinine were experienced. The most
acute pains shot through the skull.
Conversation was suspended, except
among the guides, and their voices fell
on our ears as if coming from great
distance. 1t was impossible to tell what
progress was being made, for the top
and bottom seemed equidistant all the
way up. We barely escaped the most
severe experience likely to occur to
those who reach that high elevation !;
bleeding at the nose, mouth and ears.
1t would have been the signal that we
had gone too far, that heart and lungs
refused to submit further, and We
should have placed ourselves in the
hands OF our guides to be carried back
to Tiamacas.
Our physical endurance was
stretched almost to its limit by the
time the head guide shouted, "Here
we are! Smell the sui hur' The
Whit of sulphurous smoke which
greeted our nostrils, telling that our
task was nearly completed and rest
was at hand, acted like powerful
stimulant. We awoke for q final ef-
fort, pressed on, and rested not until
we stood breathless upon the summit
of Popocatepetl.- american Maga-

Raroness Burdett.Coutts.

| heard Yesterday the true story o
the reasons which led to the remark
able marriage of Baroness Burdett
Coutts to Ashmead Bartlett, of Phila
delphia. The Baroness was over 60 al
the time of the wedding. The bride.
groom was less than so. | saw the
two at the opera the other night. The
Baroness is Al stout, heavy-faced, Ger
man-looking woman, with kindly
expression. Her brown hair shows
rs yet little signs of gray. She was
dressed in black, and wore small
white lace cap on the top of her head.
Her husband is a fresh-iaced, young
looking man. He is a blonde, with
regular features. His face is smooth
shaven, with the exception of q red
dish brown mustache. The husband
and wife were accompanied bya very
handsome-looking, slim, proud-ap-
pearing brunette with blush black
hair, and the most lovely fresh COM
plexion. She was in white, and gave
but little attention to the husband OF
the Baroness. He was very attentive
to his wife, paying her about the same
bCtollOI lllub lhCttichotS 'cii
would pay to his mother.
l have heard that the explanation
OF. this marriage is to be found in the
reading of the will OF the Duchess of
st. Adams. This will provides that
all of the great property of Coutts,
the banker, which was left by i'm to
his wife, the Duchess above men
toned. should descend to the Baroness
Burdett- Coutts. subject to the follow
ing conditions: If she married, and
her husband attached the name OF
Burdr It. Coutts to his, then that would
constitute him the heir in direct line
to his wife, and that in the event OF
her death and his subsequent marri-
age, if he still retained the name OF
Burdett- Coutts, the children of this
second marriage would become the
heirs, to the exclusion of any OF the
other relatives. 1t is said that the
Baroness Burdett-C Coutts fell out with
her relatives and that this marriage
was simply the result OF wellconsid
cred plan to defeat by any possibility
this great property ever going to any
of them. 1t is said that the mar
riage that she has made with young
Ashmead Bartlett is marriage in
mere name. She selected him on
account of the belief that she herself
would live for many years. She
wanted q young man reasonably GER
tain to outlive yer, and yet be young
enough to marry again. When she
dies, if he carries out the agreement
already made with her, he will marry
as soon afterwards as possible, SO as
to provide for 4 family of heirs
which will cut off every one of her
present relatives. The Queen, who
used to be very friendly to the Baron
ess Burdett-Coutts on account of her
great charity, never approved of this
marriage, and has not been on friend
ly terms with her since.-[New York

Is on a sunny slope,
Worthy that form OF infant grace,
The child OF many hope.
Dear little boy. so blithe, so gay,
Such sunny hair, and eyes
Wide open as the summer day,
And bluer than its skies
And search through all the sunset lands
Where little angels be,
Such fine and fairy feet and hands
You nevermOre may see.
Grow, grow, sweet flowers. above his rest
And let the little mound
With summers brightest robes be drest
A consecrated ground
All pretty. creeping. flying things
That babies love TO see,
With slender legs and diamond wings,
About his grave shall be.
o Father. dear, who took his hand
Ana led him gently on
In other ways than we had planned,
Where is our baby gone?
We can not know how pass his days,
How sweet and clear he speaks,
How good and gracious all his ways,
What companies he seeks;
We only know that he is safe
In that fair land and far,
Where beat no storms, no hardships chafe,
And Love shines like u star.
